"Western railroads are threatened
with a $50,000,000 strike.
"Thousands of employes are
ready to walk out in backing up a
demand for higher wages and better
working conditions.
"Officials of the roads involved
were striving yesterday to form plane
that would carry them past the cris-
is in safety. The situation is so ser-
ious that financial interests in New
ork and Chicago are watching de-
velopments with the greatest anxi-
ety. A general walkout is certain,
it is claimed, unless the concessions
demanded are obtained.
"Employes of the railroad shops
will be affected by the strike. In-
cluded in the unions which have
made demands are those of the black
smiths, car workers, iron molders,
machinists and pattern makers.
"Officials of the unions have met
flat refusals of all the demands from
the lines they have negotiated with.
Last night it Was announced the rail-
roads are determined not to recede
from their position.
"The Harrima,n roads chiefly are
involved at the present time and the
attitude of these officials of the lines,
the boldest tftul most successful fin-
anciers, and a picturesque figure in
the field of sports. Since 1SS0, when

Muskogee, Okla., Aug. 9.—Judge
T. J. Barnes, county judge of Mc-
Curtain county, resigned Tuesday.
His resignation has followed the
probe into Indian minor guardian-

ernment, claims to have found 6,000
deeds to minors' lands which war-
rant investigation and 500 have al-
ready been submitted for ^arbitra-

value, or to be deeded back to the
minor from whom obtained. Judge
Barnes has been in offlce;since state-
hood, and is supposed to have pass-

the property of Indian minors. This

a conspiracy existed on the part of
certain county officials, and five men
to secure control of all the minor In-
dian lands in the county.

The bill as passed by the Senate j rasr.ihsttt. bay, polo playing at Narra-
differs only slightly from the House
measure, and it is said will be un-
satisfactory to President Taft. He
has seated he would be glad to sign
the bill if the Nelson amendment pre-
vailed. It is a grave question with-
er he-will be willing to sign It since
it was defeated, as It was by 43 to
26.
The indications are that the bill
will become a law without his signa-
ture.
The only change by the Senate was
two minor items regarding the voting
In New Mexico on proposed amend-
ments of its Constitution. They will
be undoubtedly agreed to by the
House, and the bill expediated to the
White House.
The amendments were reported by
the Senate committee on territories
and agreed to without debate. Prac-
tically all of the debate on the bill
centered around the Nelson amend-
ment. Even some senators who ex-
pressed their opposition against the
recall, voted against the amendment
on the ground that if the people of
Arizona wanted the recall It waB for
them and not Congress to say
whether they should have it.
The bill as passed requires as a
conditional precedent, Arizona to
submit the recall to the voters for
final decision as to whether It shall
remain must vote on the proposition
embodied In the- bill, which would
make the constitution easier of
amendment.

FUNERAL FOR MRS. GARTER
Afied Bartlesville Woman Dies While
Visiting in the East.
Lewlston, Maine, Aug. 9.—United
States Senator Pierce Frye died at
home here late Tuesday afternoon.
He was 81 years old.
Senator Frye held the record for
longest continuous service in the
senate. He was first elected senator
in 1881, and had served continuous-
ly until his death.
He was a Republican, and held
fast to the tenets of the "standpat"
element in his party. Since he was
last elected the Maine legislature has
become democratic, and his success-
or will be a democrat. He retired
to Lewlston, his birthplace, soon af-
ter the present session opened, re-
marking as he left that he would
probably never return to Washing-
ton.
He was horn in Lewiston, Septem-
ber 2, 1830, admitted to the bar in
1S52, and was elected to the state
legislature in 1862, 1863 and 1867.
